Ebun Sodipo is a London based artist making work for those who will come after: the black trans people of the future.
Ebun’s interdisciplinary practice narrates her construction a black trans-feminine self after slavery and colonialism. Through a process of fragmentation, collage, and fabulation, she devises softer, other-wise ways of imagining and speaking about the body, desire, archives, and the past.
